About Me

I have taught all levels of Spanish from 1 to AP. I am currently teaching Spanish 2 CP, Spanish 3 Honors, Spanish 4 Honors, and AP Spanish Language and Culture. Spanish is one of the world’s most widely spoken languages, one which is spoken by many residents in the Upstate and worldwide. I love language and culture, and I always enjoy learning something new and trying new techniques. I sponsor Spanish Club, Spanish Honor Society, and Beta Club. I truly love my job and the wonderful people that I have the privilege to work with every day.

My family is the most important part of my life. My husband, Shane, and I have two amazing children. Drew graduated from Riverside and was part of the Region Champion and State Runner Up basketball team in 2023-2024. He is now playing basketball as a sophomore in college. Chloe is in 11th grade and plays volleyball. My other pride and joy is Mylo, our family's eight-year-old Havapoo (Havanese/Poodle). My family loves sports and is very competitive. We are always on the go and doing something active. My favorite hobbies are working out, reading, and cooking - especially trying new recipes.

I grew up in Greenville and graduated from Eastside High School and then Furman University with a double major in Business Administration and Spanish. I worked in the corporate world for over three years and have worked for Greenville County Schools for 18 years. This is my 15th year teaching and my 11th year at Riverside, and I am proud to be a Warrior! I am also currently pursuing a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and will graduate in December.
